Abstract
THE Bulletin Analytique is a journal of abstracts, issued by the French Government's new Service de Documentation (see p. 947). The director of the Service is Prof. P. Auger, and the chief editor of the Bulletin is Dr. N. Thon. The Bulletin was to have been issued in fortnightly parts. The first six parts, for January-March of this year, have been published in one fascicule. Nos. 7-8 appeared in April and No. 9 is dated May. The size of the page is about 6£ in. ? 9£ in. It is hoped that a complete annual volume will contain about one thousand pages. The abstracts are classified under eighteen subjects, which are: mathematical physics; corpuscular physics; structure of solids and liquids; mechanics and heat; radiation and optics; electricity and magnetism; astrophysics and geophysics; thermodynamics and chemical statics and dynamics; electrochemistry, photochemistry, radio chemistry, and photography; colloids and adsorption; chemistry of minerals, mineralogical chemistry and geochemistry; organic chemistry; metallurgy; industrial chemistry and materials; agricultural chemistry; biological chemistry; agriculture; physiology. The titles of all papers and all abstracts are given in French, with the name of the author, the place where the research has been done, the journal in which it has appeared and the language of the original. Abstracts of unpublished papers in the Service's archives are given a special mark.
